Hi, Folks ...


I'm having a bit of a problem getting yum to select the proper RPM to
install when there is a kernel module dependancy.

Both the client system and the server are RHEL5. I've set up the yum
repository on the server. On the server, I've got the following RPMs
available:

[root@(protected)
/var/www/html/repo/sulair-openafs-1.4.6/RPMS/x86_64

[root@(protected)-*
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.13.el5xen_1.x86_64.rpm
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.14.el5_1.x86_64.rpm
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.14.el5xen_1.x86_64.rpm
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.6.el5_1.x86_64.rpm
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.6.el5xen_1.x86_64.rpm
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.el5_1.x86_64.rpm


On the client system, which is a Xen guest ...

[root@(protected)
2.6.18-53.el5xen

... I run:

[root@(protected)
(... snip ...)
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Downloading header for openafs-kernel to pack into transaction set.
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6. 100% |=========================| 8.3 kB  
00:00
---> Package openafs-kernel.x86_64 0:1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.14.el5_1 set to
be updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 for
package: openafs-kernel
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 is
needed by package openafs-kernel

So, it appears to me that yum is trying to install the RPM:

openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.14.el5_1.x86_64.rpm

... when it should be installing the RPM:

openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.14.el5xen_1.x86_64.rpm


If, like the man page says, I try to specify the actual version of the
RPM I want, I get ...

[root@(protected)
( ... snip ... )
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.14.el5xen
Nothing to do

I've tried "yum clean all" and such, with the same results. Am I
missing something basic, or do I need to take other steps to make this
work?

Thanks,
 -s-
